Exploring Your Computer's Features

Using an ExpressCard™

Using external speakers or headphones

Your computer is equipped with a full stereo sound system with
internal speakers. Instead of using the internal speakers, you can
connect headphones or a pair of external stereo speakers.
To play back sound files through external speakers or headphones:
1 Locate the headphone jack on the computer.
2 Using any necessary adapters, plug the cable from the
headphones or external speakers into the headphone jack.
The headphone jack requires a 16-ohm stereo mini-jack.
To adjust the volume:
❖
For external speakers, use the volume controls on each speaker.
❖
For headphones, use the computer's volume control.

insert it.

Before putting on headphones to listen, turn the volume down. Do
not set the volume too high when using headphones. Continuous
exposure to loud sound can harm your hearing.
